   This weekend the NSSAR held its first in person National Trustees and Leadership Meeting in eighteen months.  The meeting was well attended with fourteen regular Virginia SAR members and many dual members participating.  Virginia SAR participants included one General Officer (Chancellor General Mike Elston), two trustees (one representing France SAR), Four Committee Chairmen, and many active Committee Members.

     The primary accomplishments of the Trustees were the approval of the 2022 Budget and selection of the hosts for the 2025 and 2026 Congresses.  The Congress hosts will be:
2025 - Connecticut
2026 - North Carolina 


Previously approved hosts are:
2022 - Georgia
2023 - Florida
2024 - Pennsylvania








One significant event for the Virginia SAR was the announcement of a $25,000 contribution to the SAR Museum and Education Center, made possible by our Knight-Patty Fund.

    Along with the hard work, this was a great social occasion with banquets on Friday and Saturday evening, and a Ladies luncheon at the Speed Art Museum.  There were also an unusually large number of first time participants in the Leadership Meeting, including Bill Greaf and Forrest Crain.  New participants are always welcome and will surely find a home on one of or more of the NSSAR Committees.

     A new dual member joined the Virginia SAR at this meeting, Lee Popham of Florida, who also became a dual member of the Culpeper Minutemen Chapter. One of Lee's patriot ancestors served in the Culpeper Minute Battalion.
